Not that she saw it first hand, but to be in the position her friend was in she had to be. She listened to all the places security was pushed up, places she would expect. “Well I hope it helps and I hope you find that woman. She gave me the creeps at the trial. So smiley and confident. It was just unnerving.” She didn’t like the woman at all and now that she was loose Vic hated the thought.


“Oh nonsense Emily you have to get away sometimes. How do you not get burned out if all you do is work.” She needed to teach her friend how to relax, but she wasn’t sure she even knew what that word was anymore. “You could go somewhere to relax and take a book or do some sightseeing that would be relaxing and keep you busy.” It was a perfect sounding vacation to her at least.

She saw the look of amusement on her friends face, “My thoughts exactly, but it scared him so it worked I guess.” She hoped it did at least. He wasn’t getting into too much trouble that she was aware of while he had been home.

“A hobby?” What on earth hoppy would she take up, “I have gobbstones and Quidditch, I was in a town that I hadn’t lived in since I was seventeen and knew really one person well.” Mariel was her first and best friend at the ministry. “Figured it wouldn’t hurt and it didn’t. I had some fun with Gavin, you should have seen the look on his face when I screamed about how great he was in the café. I still can’t believe I did that.” She shook her head, but she really didn’t have a choice now did she. “Plus it didn’t stop Charely.” She grinned glancing at her overly huge belly.

A laughter spread through her and louder than she would have liked, “No you don’t have to be in a relationship I guess.” That was about as far as she was taking that conversation. She enjoyed pushing the man’s buttons and could only imagine what someone else could do to drive him crazy. Her thoughts were interrupted though, “Raining?” She blinked towards the ceiling. Brown eyes focusing back on Emily she watched as she flicked her wand. Hopefully that would stop the rain but how did it start?


Emily shrugged. Wes stepping down wasn't necessarily a good thing, she respected her former bossman and friend, but she certainly wasn't complaining. He and Izzy were well in Australia, and she got this fantastic opportunity. No complaints, even if she was changing things up and putting her own stamp on the department, a more sever stamp. "It will, and don't worry... she can't hide forever..." it was only a matter of time before they caught her, or someone put an end to her. "She's psychotic... must be her dementia setting in after all those years."

As for getting away and talk of getting burned out, Emily grimaced, emitting a low grunt. She wouldn't get burned out, there was nothing to burn her out with. Work was work, and there was nothing else competing for her attention and time, ergo, with no competition, there would be no burning. "I'm used to it," she replied after a brief pause, "to the work... it's all I've ever known." So it wasn't a problem. If anything, it would be a problem preventing her from working all the time - it would drive her mad. Though Gavin was slowly changing that, with his bright suggestions and the whole distracting her thing.

And speaking of...

She still didn't see the appeal, or the sense in the whole situation. Not at all. "Yeah, you know, read a book? yoga? knitting? painting?" things that you could do without subjecting yourself to a loss of control of desires and potentially humiliating yourself as well as others. From her point of view, almost anything was better than Amortentia testing. Almost anything. The bit abouthaving fun with Gavin, irked her on the insidejealousy, though she continued to wear her easy smile. "I can only imagine," she mused at the thoughts.

It soon became clear that the rain was not the product of a poor joke, but rather, it was something else entirely. "I think... the climate controls are wonky..." and it wasn't the first thing to be going wrong in the Ministry. Circe. Emily cast a silent water repelling charm on herself and Vic, there was no need for them to soak to the bone in this, and she proceeded by conjuring her patronus, the silvery African wild dog bounding off for level four.
